The Grand Street Shuttle was a New York City Subway service that operated during the long Manhattan Bridge rehabilitation project while the north tracks (connecting to the IND Sixth Avenue Line via the Chrystie Street Connection) were closed. It usually ran between Broadway–Lafayette Street and Grand Street, picking up the slack from rerouted or suspended B and D service.

History

[edit]

Service disruptions that took the Manhattan Bridge north tracks out of service, with the shuttle running between Broadway–Lafayette Street and Grand Street, included the following:

During the first phase of the Manhattan Bridge rehabilitation, from April 26, 1986 to December 11, 1988,[3] the shuttle was extended to 57th Street/Sixth Avenue, running via the Sixth Avenue local tracks, and was called the Sixth Avenue Shuttle while the B and D terminated at 34th Street–Herald Square. Regular service had been expected to resume on October 26, 1986.[4]

The final Grand Street Shuttle service began on July 22, 2001, again between Broadway–Lafayette Street and Grand Street, while the B and D services were truncated to 34th Street–Herald Square. The Sixth Avenue Shuttle (which also ended at Broadway–Lafayette Street) was ended on December 16, 2001 with the rerouting of F trains to the 63rd Street Tunnel and introduction of the V train, and the Grand Street Shuttle was extended north to West Fourth Street–Washington Square.[5][6] On April 27, 2003, service was decreased to run every 15 minutes instead of every 12 minutes at all times except late nights.[7] The rehabilitation was finished on February 22, 2004, and the shuttle was discontinued. Also during this time, a shuttle bus ran between Canal Street and Grand Street.[8][9][10]
